Perhaps it's because an iPad can be seen as a "family" device, while an iPhone is almost always personal? TouchId supports multiple prints though (right?), so that shouldn't be a problem.

The iPad should go multi-user and use TouchID to distinguish between users.

I'm skipping this generation, even though I have an iPad 3, which is apparently the bastard on iPad Apple wish they never had. The new Mini is enticing, though. As are the new MacBooks. And I am struggling to resist updating to Mavericks immediately.

So, I really like the new iPad except for one thing. The border is too small. my iPad 2 is a good weight, and the border is wide enough that my human sits on it well. The iPads after mine were too heavy, so I. glad they stopped that "let's make it heavier" bullshit, but I don't know about that border.

Yeah thin bezels are very I don't know. My mini would be used more in landscape IF THE SPEAKERS WERE ORIENTED THAT WAY, also giving me luxurious room for my thumbs (humans). My iPad 2's mono speaker is looking like engineering brilliance to me at this point. But I am of the opinion that the touch sensitivity is for shit near the edges on the mini to deflect the "accidental" touches. Same with my iPhone. Seems the refresh button on the browser and the iPod controls are less responsive then they should be.
